How Many EXP Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $1.00 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 6,000 EXP shares, about $1,125,000 at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $187.50. $1,000 a month takes about 12,000 shares, about $2,250,000. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Eagle Materials (EXP) pays $0.25 a share quarterly, $1.00 a year, a 0.53% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $187.50. It has made 120 dividend payments since 1996.
At today’s rate of $0.25 quarterly and the last close of $187.50, this is what EXP pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.25 | $0.08 | $1.00 |
| 100 shares | $25.00 | $8.33 | $100.00 |
| $10,000 invested (53.3 shares) | $13.33 | $4.44 | $53.33 |
| 6,000 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.00 | $500.00 | $6,000.00 |
| 12,000 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $12,000.00 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 EXP shares reinvest into 0.13 new shares each payment, about 0.5 new shares a year at today’s price and rate, and each new share collects the next payment too. To DRIP one whole new share every payment you need about 750 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

EXP Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

- Its own 10-year median is 0.47%, so today’s yield is near its usual level.
Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 10 years gives one yield: the regular payment then, times payments a year, over that day’s close. Specials are left out. 50 means today’s yield sits right at its usual level. A lower score means the yield is below its usual level, so the price is high against the payout. A higher score means the yield is above its usual level. On price alone a payer stays between 15 and 85. Steady raisers get a few points back. It reads the past, not the future.

EXP vs Similar Dividend Stocks (SSRM, BCPC...)
Against the 10 dividend-paying Basic Materials companies closest to EXP in market value, EXP’s 0.53% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 1.44%, and its raise streak of 0 years is the 6th longest. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: it is often the market pricing in a cut, so read it next to the rating and the coverage behind it.

What the Dividend Safety Rating Means for EXP
EXP Dividend Questions
How often does EXP pay dividends?
EXP pays quarterly, 4 times a year. Recent payments arrived in Mar, Jun, Sep and Dec, with ex-dates in Mar, Jun, Sep and Dec. The ex-date comes about every 91 days, and the cash usually lands about 2 days later.
Does EXP pay dividends monthly?
No. EXP pays quarterly, 4 times a year. For payers that pay every month, see the monthly dividend stocks.
When is the next EXP dividend?
EXP has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 91 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Dec 14, 2026, with the cash around Dec 16, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.25 a share, went ex on Sep 14, 2026 and paid Sep 16, 2026. The current rate is $0.25 per share, $1.00 a year.
Does EXP pay a dividend in December 2026?
Not declared yet. By its usual rhythm the next ex-date falls around Dec 14, 2026, with the cash around Dec 16, 2026, so a payment in December 2026 is likely. Only the company’s declaration makes it final.
How much does EXP pay per share?
EXP pays $0.25 a share quarterly, $1.00 a year. At the Nov 10, 2026 close of $187.50 that is a 0.53% run-rate yield, near its usual level: its own 10-year median is 0.47%.
Has EXP raised its dividend?
EXP has no current streak of yearly raises. The latest raise, on Jun 18, 2007, took the rate from $0.175 to $0.20 (+14.29%). Since then the rate was cut on Dec 19, 2008, from $0.20 to $0.10. Over five years the dividend grew 0.0% a year.
Is EXP’s dividend safe?
No rating can promise a future payment, but the record on file says a lot. EXP paid out 8% of its earnings and 20% of its free cash flow as dividends over the 4 quarters to Sep 30, 2026. It has gone 4+ years without a cut. Through the market crashes: it raised the dividend through the 2000 crash; it held it through 2022; it cut it in the 2008 crash; it stopped paying in the 2020 crash. This is data, not investment advice. The full 13-check rating comes with a plan.
How do I track my EXP dividends?
Add EXP to a free DRIPCalc portfolio once, with your buy date and share count. Every payout since fills in, dated and in dollars; with DRIP on, the new shares each payment buys are counted for you, so there is no spreadsheet to update and no broker login. To project the snowball, run EXP in the DRIP calculator.
